Shih-te (9th c. CE) was a lay Buddhist monk and poet who was a dharma companion of Han Shan and Feng Kan. For more about him see this earlier post.

Buddhas leave behind sutras
because people are hard to change
not just fools and scholars
everyone’s mind is framed
their karma high as a mountain
they don’t know enough to fear
much less to reconsider
the deceit they harbour night and day
